In my opinion, a big problem arises from people, many underage, using these rivers on weekends as places to drink, party and use drugs. Also, overcrowding occurs on many summer weekends from too many outfitter provided boats. Both are a problem only on summer weekends. Then is where better management needs to take place. During the week and off of peak seasons, overuse is not a problem. Therefor management needs to focus on targeted heavy use summer weekends, not on year around changes.
